Oh, Gerard Depardieu you know I can't resist you and now it appears that Uma can't either. A boisterous extravagant setting that I couldn't leave until the end. Loud and overthetop!!!
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
Wow; I loved this movie. The grandur of it all - and I actually got goose bumps with the romance of Victoria
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
The movie is a weird little tangled web of nothing really.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
A good movie but a lie is a lie is a lie and this movie depicts the sadness and reality of how a lie affects all round very well.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
"Dumplings" really is a weird movie. Good subtitles; but no thank you very much - no dumplings for me - yuck!
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
Entertaining from beginning to end with alot of laughs along the way.

A charming little movie. But who is the punce who did a terrible job of impersonating Hugh Grant. If you watch the movie you will instantly know who I mean.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
I wouldn't rave about this one - I watched it through and didn't fall asleep so it couldn't have been too bad.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
A laugh a minute and we sure loved the great dance scene - thank you Wog Boy.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Lots of action and if this is how Robin Hood originated then the plot is pretty good. Russell scrubbed up well in the outfit and Kate played a believeable Marion. We enjoyed it!
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
I can't believe that I watched a Si-Fi movie and ended up crying - Steven Spielberg you are indeed a master of your art. The movie is watchable to the very end and Haley Joel Osment plays a believeable robot child.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
Loved Ralph Fiennes playing the three different generation roles in this movie. His usual skills are finely tuned and I must say he sure does anger well and the love scenes are up to scratch. Top movie - great storyline - a must watch in my view.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Barbara
A quirky and definately eccentric movie which kept us glued.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
After alot of crasy antics along the way it was worth the watch to see the silly look on Andy's face at the end of the movie.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
A house swap that turned out nicely in the end - lots of characters and many emotions along the way. Watchable right through!
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
A fluffy little movie with lots of funny scenes - entertaining to the end.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
The title of the movie sounds more interesting than it was. However the scenes between George Clooney and Ewan Mcgregor were quite hilarious at times. Watchable but not great.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
What an hilarious romp - I really enjoyed The Wog Boy - Nick Giannopoulos has the nack of making the job of acting look real. Glad I finally got to see this one.

How bleak and unattractive is Tehran in this movie which made this unusual love story even more sad.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
A fluffy fun movie that showed how ridiculous things can get on Valentine's Day.

An interesting insight into a terrible time in East Timor
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
Totally weird.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
I've lost count of how many times I've viewed this movie and when I saw it on the Quickflix files I just had to view it one more time. As usual I cried buckets of tears at the end - this is a real classic.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
A hilarious movie that I just had to watch again - just loved Ruth Cracknell's part as Rose - some very funny lines and heartfelt moments.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
What a funny movie - I almost died laughing at the bedroom/laptop scene.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
This is a movie with a difference. I found myself deeply involved with the storyline with the ending putting a look of pure satisfaction on my face. Well acted and with easy to read subtitles - the man of our house dosen't like reader movies but sat glued when he happened in on my viewing time.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
Heath, Heath, at last I got to see your proformance in the Dark Knight. You were a real star; in fact a pure genius in the way you gave us "The Joker", may you now rest in peace. With a little Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine my night was truly made. The movie is loud, a little hard to follow at times mostly because it moves so quickly and it is violent. Next time please don't forget Robin: we missed him.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
Powerful drama which is not to be missed - left me with a huge ball of emotion in my chest.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
I saw this movie at the Theatre and thought it was worth another look. I was right - well acted, thoroughly entertaining and leaves you with the urge to read Jane Austen again.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
If I had "2 Days in Paris" I wouldn't spend it constantly arguing with my man. What a waste of a stopover. Watch if you want to brush up on your French - good subtitles and some very funny bits - although not funny enough to make me laugh.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
The movie is in Danish but the subtitles are good and easy to read. The tale was an interesting mixture of family squabbles, drama and intrigue. Not exactly one to write home about; but watchable. Probably good if you want to brush up on your Danish skills.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
Pow, bam, yahoo and ha, ha, ha - a watchable and funny movie.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
The 110 minutes disappeared in a flash as this movie is not only watchable from beginning to end it keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Really good - nothing like fact put into a movie. Hilary Swank made a believeable Amelia when you see the real Amelia Erhart's photo. Well filmed and quite riviting in places.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
A sad tale; fairly well acted with a charming little boy in 10 year old Chris. I felt the movie unfinished with a disappointing ending.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
Watchable from beginning to end - I really loved the pairing of Johnny Depp and Charlize Theron. A thriller with spooky bits.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
A lot of marshall arts supported by a tragic story - I cried buckets at the end which was no doubt helped along by my favourite piece of music from the Opera.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
I really approve of my birthday gift thank you Quickflix. It made good Mother's Day viewing and made me feel eternally grateful for my healthy family. The Black Balloon is a heartwrenching film which is no doubt all too true for some families. Well acted and watchable to the very end. Thanks again Quickflix for your gift.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
After all the hype I was disappointed with this movie - maybe it was the interconnecting stories which didn't quite connect for me. It was all quite an accident really.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
A thoroughly entertaining movie with a few good twists.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
They must have caught Susan Sarandon in a weak moment - the movie is wacky and weird with the occasional great moment in song,
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
Brilliant - every moment is watchable. So heart wrenching and even funny in places. I recommend this as a must watch movie.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Barbara
Pretty boaring really - a grown man acting like a yobbo is not my cup of tea.
(Don't bother!) - review by Barbara
Hard to follow with lots of different characters and so many dead bodies.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
Dan Brown, Ron Howard
(Not to be missed!) - review by Barbara
A simple movie - I'm sure the book would be better. Loved the kookie old house and the final scene is brilliant. Certainly a watchable movie.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Not exactly what I expected - a totally weird movie that I couldn't stop watching.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
With a little known cast I guess it's always a risk but the movie is watchable with some funny moments.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
A bloody battle in the outback which was a little hard to follow at times.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
A sad insite into the lives of Indian widows; quite well acted and well worth watching.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
A watchable movie of love and friendship,
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
A rabble of unimpressive acting - a real nightmare wedding leaving me wondering why I watched it to the end. P.S. I did nod off a couple of times.
(Don't bother!) - review by Barbara
So sad - only fiction I know but a young life spoilt by not enough Mothering. I wouldn't really recommend spending time on this movie. Subtitles ran a little too fast and storyline was pretty poor.
(Don't bother!) - review by Barbara
Brilliant - Meryl Streep at her best! Enjoyed every scene and didn't want the movie to finish.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Barbara
Just between you and me the "Synopsis" of the movie was more interesting than the actual movie. However if you want some tips on how to pick someone up at a wedding then watch for sure.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
A bit of a dud really - if it wasn't for the role of John Corbett. Rather liked his grungy look for a change but the dialogue was difficult to understand - maybe capsions would help!!!!!!!!
(Don't bother!) - review by Barbara
It sure is a rapid-fire tale with a surprise role for John Corbett - watch till the end or you will miss out. Oh, by the way - the lobster dish sure looked incredible.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
This one slipped us by in 1993 so it was an interesting watch with a much younger Baldwin, Bancroft
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
It's so true - and there are so many Samson
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
An enjoyable movie with a great ending - loved it!
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
A rolicking good movie set in Ireland in days gone by. No bad language, no nudity but alot of interesting twists, good humor and romance. This one is guaranted to set you laughing and clapping your hands in glee.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Obviously a very fictiional movie with blood, drama and terror. The pairing of Ralph Fiennes and Donald Sutherland went down well. Both have superb voices and could act themselves out of a paper bag so it made a mediocre movie good.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
A "Claytons Movie" - you know, the movie you watch when your not watching a movie. If it wasn't for Scarlett
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
Mind blowing stunts and the movie makes my trips to the petrol station pretty mundane. Now we just have to watch Beyond Thunderdome.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Heath was great in this movie - I loved it.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
A simple story - I don't know what all the fuss was about although it was well acted.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Sorry - I really don't remember ordering this movie.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
Can't write a review on this one as the disk was defective.
(Don't bother!) - review by Barbara
I didn't know any of the actors but thought the movie sounded interesting when I ordered it. Boy, it sure was and I will be looking out for Kimberly Elise again; she played a great part as Helen. Sad, funny, and at times outragesly crazy the movie is good viewing.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
Don't be put off by the Hindi version of Water - it is great with English capsions but also narated by Deepa Mehta who speaks with such feeling and explains the movie most thoroughly and beautifully.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
A good movie; certainly a crime thriller. No guns, much blood or dead bodies but it will keep you rivited for what's next.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Not a memorable movie but easily watched. Even if the subtitles weren't there you can follow the flow of the storyline.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
The storyline is pretty simple and the acting stilted on occasion compared to today's standards. However we enjoyed the movie, a little violent at times, and possibly disturbing to our indigenious brothers and sisters. Since the movie is set in 1955 we can see that times have certainly changed.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Whether you bowl or not you will find this an entertaining movie - lots of funny lines and a great cast of Australian oldies.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
An amusing little movie with plenty of laughs.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
An enjoyable movie made all the more enjoyable because of the mens karakoe scene and the quirky ending.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Sad and funny with lots of laughs.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
This was a first time viewing of Mad Max for us and we enjoyed all the special effects and a look at a very young Mel Gibson. The storyline is pretty weak but the madness of the viewing keeps you gasping - look out Mad Max II.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Our mysterious neighbours never turn out to be quite as intriguing as Diane's. An interestingly weird movie that held my attention - however hubby thought it a dud.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
The movie stopped short of this valiant little boys enduring journey to find his Mother. OK, so I've spoiled the end; but even though the subtitles left some to the imagination Vanya's journey is worth a watch.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
Another viewing of Casanova was a must just to see Heath play the part - he does it with such rogueish charm - I'll probably watch it again someday - thanks Heath.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
A powerful rendition of what life really is like in India.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Barbara
The women's three individual stories are interesting viewing and you will join in their laughter in the final scene. I enjoyed seeing Sophia and Gerard act together - a great pairing of characters!
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Sometimes you wonder why a script writer even bothered to write the movie - this is one of them. Of course if you want to watch how to make your life miserable then this one is for you.
(Don't bother!) - review by Barbara
The movie was well put together with the past/present scenes melding intogether with a rythm. Drew Barrymore played the mother with believeable skill.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
Ah Stephen King - you make me laugh, you make me cry and you scare the living daylights out of me. Guess what! you even kept my sleepy husband awake. If you love a horror/thriller then this one is great.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
A simple everyday story; but what a shame the boys's mother took off - she should have at least taught them not to swear. Their language left alot to be desired. Hugh Jackman puts in a good performance; but then again he always does.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
Dear me Mrs Stone - you sure got yourself in a fix. All I can say is when in Rome beware the Paolo's.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
A pretty good portrayal of the book. Tom Hanks plays the role of Robert Langdon well - the movie is a little long however there were many scenes in the book too.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
A watchable movie which reinforces the dangers of gambling. Beautiful gowns and scenes of grand houses in times gone by - great to see Gillian Anderson in her role.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
I guess the movie was interesting; a painful little story that made me quite sad.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
Not memorable, but watchable I guess - sad and disturbing in places.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
A great movie if you want to brush up on your French as it has good subtitles. However I found it to be disjointed and in my opinion, the brief scenes not melding into a good storyline.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
What a crazy family - the little Ben Stillers were a real crack up and the funeral; well what can I say - you have to watch it to believe it.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
I felt as though I was in the waiting room - just waiting for something to happen. Not much of a story line but I did watch it to the end which was sweet.
(Don't bother!) - review by Barbara
A good Australian yarn - loved the characters portrayed and got a real sense of what it would be like to be an Oyster Farmer.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
The hawk is actually dead - I turned it off half an hour into the movie - enough said!!!
(Don't bother!) - review by Barbara
I am thinking of taking up a collection for Diane Keaton to have some more acting classes or perhaps to buy her a gag. Her annoying rendition of Fran Maloni in this movie wasn't my cup of tea.
(Don't bother!) - review by Barbara
An entertaining movie that has you wondering what's next. Michael Keaton has the starring role in my book.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
A quirky little movie, with some funny lines - watchable but not memorable.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
This movie is brilliantly executed, it's heartbreaking and thought provoking and will keep you on the edge of your seat and wide awake till the end.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Barbara
A touching story of teenage pregnancy with some great lines along the way. Well acted and entertaining to the end.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Wacky burglars is right - they ought to give up and get a day job. An entertaining movie with many laughs along the way. Don't miss the bloopers at the end.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
The Wongs certainly are dysfunctionaly normal - a chaming look at their everyday life and problems.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
Slow and uninteresting except for the panio playing with an exciting ending - so watch this movie for the full impact.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
I thought Lipstick was quite clever in the way it exposed Geralyn's journey through breast cancer - maybe it could be issued to all women diagnosed to help them understand how others feel. Having lost close friends to breast cancer I felt the journey was quite real.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
I liked the pairing of Michael Caine
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
What a hell of a Honeymoon - I sure am glad my fella didn't take me on one like that.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
Jim Winters is well acted by Anthony Lapaglia and the struggle he has watching his sons make their choices in life is typical. I felt the storyline finished before the story ended but enjoyed the movie.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
It was a dramatic and emotional movie and oh, those eyes and that wonderful voice - Anthony, you sure can act.
(Don't bother!) - review by Barbara
Not a memorable movie - but it is watchable with an interesting cast.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
Must have hit the wrong star as I only rate this one star - violent and hard to follow at times.
(Don't bother!) - review by Barbara
A real drama/thriller; and what a beauty. It will have you on the edge of your seat with your heart thumping.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
It's clever how the four stories actually do connect to make an interesting movie.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
My Life is a bit slow in places but the end you just have to see; it's amazing.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
A great movie; it starts with a real punch - beaut performance by Daniel Craig and Rhys Ifens was pretty spooky. Watch it and like me you will think "just how good is Rhys" !
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
A crasy movie - just bad luck they didn't put in a monkey to make it more mad. I guess it was worth watching for the smiles at the end; I'd been waiting for them.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
Scarlett always plays a good role and she does well at being Annie the Nannie - watchable to the end.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
The story line was a little hard to follow at times. However the movie is worth a watch if only for the recipe of how to boil an egg in the bush if you don't have any water. We always have alot to learn from our New Australians.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Light and fluffy - easy watching with some funny lines.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Facinating documentry - it made the book really come to life.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
This movie brought the kid out in me - I really enjoyed the fantasy. A good movie to watch with an older child as some scenes would be disturbing for a littlie.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
You don't actually have to watch this movie to enjoy it - just listen to the music in the background and take it how it comes. Funny in places, pretty stupid, clever, disappointing at times and then wammo your watching again. It's worth it to hear Drew Barrymore laugh again.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
What alot of fun this movie is - it's worth watching to view the hideous bridesmaid outfits. Whoever wrote the script had a vivid imagination.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
I loved watching (Steve) aka Gary Sweet squirm - clever girl Alexandra; you really got him didn't you.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
The storyline was hard to follow but the movie is worth the watch for a wonderful performance by Donald Sutherland.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
This movie made the East Timor situation a little clearer in our minds. A commendable performance by David Wenham with the rest of the cast shaping up well too.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
The gift of "Live and Become" to the boy from his mother was received and used to the full. Watch the movie and see how he uses his gift; the final reward still gives me the tingles.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
Well we all sing like that occasionally; it's just a matter of what the era. A watchable movie but most probably not memorable.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
I'm sure he ended up with the right girl but it was a painful process. I love reader movies and Gerard Depardieu 'BUT' !!!
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Great cast and a riot a minute. Don't miss this one - even though Pierce can't sing for nuts it will get your toes tapping that's for sure.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
Interesting interaction between the three sisters - watch this one for Joan Plowright's performance - she is always a treat.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Dramatic tragedy is more the point than drama/romance. A well acted movie with no "Bollywood" in sight. It showed the sparceness of India as well as the poverty which I have experienced first hand in my travels there of recent times. The storyline is easily captured even with the reading script - it is well transcribed.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
Great movie with wonderful interaction between Evie and Ben - I loved every minute.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
I loved Peter O'Toole in this film and even though it was a little wacky at time it had some great character scenes.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Quite funny in places with good performances from Uma Thurman
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Interesting storyline although the movie is not particularly memorable. The subtitles are easy to read although a little quick at times.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
Easy viewing - Diane Keaton sure played the annoying mother to the hilt.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
The beginning of the movie just wasn't my cup of tea at all so I'm afraid I read a book instead.
(Don't bother!) - review by Barbara
A very good movie that really sets you thinking as it all comes together in the dramatic ending.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Mental Illness has been treated with some respect in this movie. Lets face it, there is a fine line between sanity and mental illness and I found this movie showed that love can strike you whatever your state of mind - thank goodness for that.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Excellent movie - great acting from Bana, Johansson
(Not to be missed!) - review by Barbara
I always love Anthony Hopkins and he was great but the storyline seemed to be lacking. Perhaps I'll have to read the book to get the gist of things.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
"Pay it Forward" is not only a great movie but a wonderful idea. Wouldn't it be great if the idea took on - maybe it will if all those who watch make the effort to carry Trevor's goodness with them in life. Yeah, lets make this world a better place.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Barbara
Brilliant - and no Bollywood dancing in sight. Since I have spent considerable time in India this film was understandable even with the subtitles. The storyline flowed and it was dramatic with the ending perfect in my view.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
A fun movie with some clever lines - really loved the ending.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
At times the movie is disturbing but mostly I was left feeling just what is normal anyway in this world of many faces. Perhaps families who have to deal with Asperger's Syndrome are better judges.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
Good movie - loved Woody Allen - pairing of Scarlett
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Sam Neill does spooky very well - he's always great to watch.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
We found this movie very disjointed - it had some understandable bits amongst the so so acting. Perhaps we weren't in the right mood for it.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
A heartbreakingly realistic story - we all need a friend in our life like Thereasa. The storyline catches your breath and makes you laugh and cry.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
You don't need to be Italian to enjoy this one - what a journey the ring has. There is laughter & fun, as well as sorrow & joy in a simple storyline - its great!
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
The Girl was sure Interrupted and Wynnona & Angelina did an excellent job of the starring roles in the movie.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
We thoroughly enjoyed this movie - don't miss it.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
How sweet, and to think a 9 year old girl wrote the storyline which kept us thoroughly entertained.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
A rip roaring, funny & entertaining movie - not much storyline although the funny lines keep bringing on the laughs.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
Lost count of how many times we have watched this movie. Just had to have one more look at the amazing flying effects, listen to the music on the surround sound and watch Tom in one of his best films.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Barbara
Good movie; but it left me wondering what the parents of the over-protective parents were like.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
A simple story, simply acted which kept me simply entertained.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
A slow and pointless movie; just as well I love bushwalking as I enjoyed the ramble in the jungle.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
The storyline wasn't so memorable but watching Sandra Bullock is always a treat. If only for her acting watch this one.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
A good movie with a great cast - I felt like one of the family.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
I loved the soft Scottish accents, the bookshop is a dream and the storyline is sad but sweet with some truly great lines.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
It's slow to start and you wonder where it is going to end - but you must keep watching as the ending is brilliant.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Barbara
Very entertaining - loved the comedy and the clever lines. The romantic bits were good too.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
This movie sure keeps your mind ticking. Guy Pearce is great in the role and I guess you could almost say it's like a black "Groundhog Day".
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
At last I got to see this 25 year old movie featuring Meryl Streep & Kurt Russell. It's a good watch and shows just why work safety standards have improved over the years.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
Shirley & Meryl were great playing the Mother/Daughter roles in this movie. In real life the craft of Acting must be a real pain in the behind sometimes if some of the scenes are to be believed. Then that's life isn't it.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Although the acting isn't top notch it's a spine tingling tale that makes you realise that honesty really is the best policy.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
I guess it's worth watching - some humerous segments - makes you wonder just why she was getting married in the first place.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
Sandra Bullock plays her role with skill - a thoroughly entertaining movie; although there is certainly a darkly disturbing side to it.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
Since the movie is based on true events it was sometimes very confronting and sad but certainly worth watching.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Wonderful story - real life is great - and the ending pulls on the heart strings.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
A pretty wishy washy movie; watchable but not memorable.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
A disturbing story line but watch this one for fantastic acting by Cate & Judi they really work for their pay in this one.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Barbara
Victoria is one bad lady, so sweet in the meeting but evil and twisted - a thought provoking movie.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Having visited Martindale Hall, South Australia (Applegate School) recently this film was a "must watch again" on my list. I was thrilled to revisit this magnificant building and enjoyed the timeless magic and mystery of Peter Weir's film. Slow, but sweet - thanks Quickflix.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
Such devotion to a love of books and beautifully portrayed by Hopkins & Bancroft. It made me want to order a volume or two as well.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Poor little boy - this movie sure is a manual on how not to be a Mother!
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
Not the best movie in the world but watchable with some funny moments.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
A powerful eye opener - and they call themselves sisters of God? Watch this movie and be enlightened too - my heart breaks for all the girls that have gone this way.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Barbara
I quite liked this one - the illusions were hard to believe though. The love story was however believeable.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
The story line may be a little wacky around the edges but it's worth watching for the great performance from Toni Collette.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Worth watching for Jennifer Garner's sad and happy faces and what the friends do an don't do to help with the loss of their friend and her fiance.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
An interesting documentary.

The tennis gets lost amongst the love won and lost then turns into a must watch drama at the end third of the movie - it will keep you sitting on the edge of your seat till the amazing finish which answers the name of the movie.

Such a delightful movie and Rene Zel..... did a super job of portraying Miss Potter - I loved every minute.

Freedie & Jjaks sitting in a tree - now this is one funny love story which keeps you guessing here and there.

This one is worth watching for the wonderful ending scenes.

I watched this movie because I love Rhys Ifans - you should watch it for the great comedy.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
Watch this movie for the ending - the name is really apt.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
A good lesson on what not to do when your friends are to dinner if you want your relationship to work. The fella of the house didn't enjoy the flick too much but then again he's not a slob. Loved the ending.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
Very little storyline - poor quality filming I consider this film a waste of time.
(Don't bother!) - review by Barbara
A really wacky movie with plenty of laughs - Adam Sandler at his best.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
There is a story - only a little one without much substance. Watch it if you like pretty girls with long hair.
(Maybe) - review by Barbara
A movie rich in scenes & music of the times - worth watching for Sofia & Jackson's final scenes (yes I do love Ralph Fiennes acting).
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
A really great trip was taken with Cathy & Deborah - those two smiles are real winners and the scenery was great too.
(Worth watching) - review by Barbara
This one is a classic - Peter Falk is just great to watch; he plays a wonderful old fart in this movie.
(Excellent) - review by Barbara
The pairing of Robin Williams and Holly Hunter in this movie is just perfect and what the corpse had to endure was histerical.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Barbara
Remind me not to apply for any "family-run" Italian Restaurant waitress jobs - certainly worth watching.

Happy New Year to all at Quickflix and thanks for your Christmas Gift of "Assassination Tango" - just bad luck it wasn't one of the best movies that I added to my list.

Phew; I was a bit worried that our DVD player would melt in the process of running this movie. David Wenham always acts well with or without his clothes and the DVD player survived - totally entertaining, even kept the husband of the house awake!

A great performance from Hugh Jackman - I enjoyed the way the three different eras tied in together to weave and interesting and heartfelt tale.

Bad luck that the 2nd DVD was also a dud. Thanks Quickflix for trying to satisfy your clients wishes to see this movie. After two tries I decided to give it a miss so can't give you a review.
